On to the Gili islands, yet another last minute decision. I’m really glad I’ve stuck with my plan of not having a plan, because everything really all falls into place once you’re traveling. You can do all the research and reading you want, but once you’re on the road, you meet people, talk to locals, […]
Island
Bali
It’s been a while since I posted – I’m so far behind, but it’s only because I’ve been so busy! It’s probably true that the quality and frequency of my blog posts is inversely proportional to the fun I’m having… So – we left off at Singapore… I decided Bali was a good in-between point […]
Langkawi

I went with a hotel that Alec’s friends recommended/worked for, and after cross-checking the prices online, confirmed they gave me a good deal. Ko […]

Ko Phangan
On to the party island of Ko Phangan, situated in the Thailand Gulf. I took the slow boat (ferry) to the island, which takes about 2 1/2 hours, but we were on Thai time, so obviously longer. It was a full day of traveling all the way from Chiang Mai, so I ended up […]
